Following in brother's footsteps...
 

My wife called me away from my work computer earlier tonight and said "You've gotta come see this; Gabriel's climbed up in a treestand!" :)There was some deer-hunting show on the Outdoor Channel, and Gabe had the deer on t.v. in his sights!



Of course, he quickly got bored with the t.v. deer and stalked across the room for a closer shot at the real thing. ;)

good stuff right there :DLet me give you a heads up. He will be waking you up at 2:00 in the morning asking you if its time to go hunting yet ;)I have been there. Greg you have created a monster :Dgood job!!

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

That is great.

Your kids look just like you! I'm sure that makes you happy[8D]

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

As a matter of fact, Kyle... ;):D

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Awesome pics Greg!

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

LMAO.

That.....is....awesome.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Dude.........I can't handle 2 of them.
Make Gabe take up knitting or cooking.

:D

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

I love it!!!! HAHAHA...look at that little guy on the couch...

OK Greg...He can date my daughter.....It's cool.:)

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Too funny. ;)

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Rory / Simon - This is what you have to look forward too...

Rule of thumb...Make sure your girl supports hunting...after that..its all gravy...Boys or girls..they will love hunting with their dads...and they really love their dads...

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Great pics, Brian!

Like we were talking about, I know there's gonna be some tough times ahead being a parent, but I just never imagined it could be so much fun! And I know introducting them to the outdoors is going to minimize those bad times! I know my parents never had to worry about me as they could just go to the nearest patch of woods or stream and know where I was at all times. :)

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

It looks like we have a promising generation of future bow hunters in the works.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

That's awesome Greg, I love the "Bowtech" too:D
Cool pics too Brian!

Todd, I'm sure you've heard the song about "Cleaning my gun"? ;)Very appropriate in your case, I'd think.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Yes it is.Right now dance is her boyfriend,getting ready for nationals in Tampa Florida in march.Hopefully she keeps it that way but somehow,I doubt it.:eek:

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

That was the coolest thing. I loved his "treestand":D

Awesome.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Greg,to make it worse,she is 13 in that last pic and 11 in the first.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Ok TFOX...I got the picture...I love these posts...I guess I shall load my guns...for those of you that dont know...this is what I'm dealing with..

I hope we're friends in 2018....I may need back up..

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

My buddy shot a deer with his bow this year with his 4 year old in the stand with him...

So that did it..I asked Brooke if she was ready for next year...she'll be 4 in August...she WHISPERS...yeah dad..I'll be quiet...SHES READY....

I'm not dumb...they break loose when the deer come in..;)

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Cute little fella

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

PWR...thats it...following your steps...!!!

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

TFOX -

We have 2 things in common..

Cute Daughters...and Hoyts...

A true blessing.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Yes we do.;)

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

13 yrs TFOX? I don't think I can make it.hahahah.

Oh wait...I remember 13..yes..I'm ready to meet Johnny at the front door...

I pray he is a gentlemen and has respect...but none of that matters at 13..I was there...I was Johnny.

My daughters are going to hate me when I follow them around all the time...:eek:I hope I can raise them to make good decisions in life.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

This post rules! Great pics and stories. Not a hunting pic, but hereis my little girl with her first steelhead at the age of 2. She's 4 now and chomping at the bit to hunt with me. I think the early antlerless season next year might be the perfect time.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Another cutie, vito! Man, I don't envy you fathers with heartbreakers like those! :)

And in case anyone missed it... here's yesterday's thread with the brother the title of this post alludes to:

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

That is too cool, Greg! Something I'm sure you will never forget.

I don't even want to think that far ahead and I don't want to know what TFOX has to deal with these days. I'm sure his shotgun makes a random appearance around the boys.;)

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Just remember, I'm not that far of a drive, and I'd get in a LOT less trouble scaring off the boys than you would.:D;)[8D]

My friend is dealin with the same thing with his little sister, just now starting in on the boys....it is FUN posing awkward questions and makin em sweat.:D

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

My daughter is the only freshman that dances varsity on a team that finished 2nd at nationals last year,maybe the year before(before she was a member) My daughter was a national champ last year in middle school though.

They won the Ky state fair in their division,best technical and best overall.
They won a competition in St Louis where they won one division,2nd in another and were the grand champions of the whole event.

They plan on going back to nationals(Florida) this year and winning but they are only going to dance 12 of the 14 members so my daughter being the only freshmen,is doing her damndest to be one of the 12,she really should be but being a freshmen might stop her.BUT,with that in her life right now,she isn't doing any dating right now(and I am ok with that)[:-]

There sure are some cute kids in this thread.I would post pics of my son but that would ruin the cute vibe.:D

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Might have to take you up on that.:D

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Good luck to your daugher, TFOX. Even if things don't work out for her this year, it sounds like she has a bright 3 years ahead of her.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

No doubt,and if that isn't enough,she played on the freshmen softball team as an 8th grader and is wanting to play again.[&:]Don't know if it will be possible but she is going to try.



Sorry Greg,this thread just kinda went off on a tangent of it's own.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

This has got to be one of the coolest pics I've seen in a while...classic. Somehow I missed it on the first read and only saw the second?[&:] Cool pic.:)

I've said it before, but man, minus the hair color...spittin image.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Two little sisters...(17 and 11)

I know how to get rid of boys;)

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

That's cool to see and I bet it excites you as all haitis.

But bowtech.. really?:D

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

Believe it or not Trevor my hair was exactly that color too until about third grade. Since their momma was a blonde until well into college (at which time it started getting darker, too), I'm hoping both my boys will keep theirs a bit longer...

And it's all good, Todd; heck, that's what weekend's are for. ;)We'll even let Duke show how little he knows about archery on this thread. [8D]

Yeah, Mike... it is pretty cool and exciting. What's neat is that Gabe copied his brother by just seeing him get up there a couple times as I played deer for him to shoot as Matt mentioned in my other thread about killing the turkey with Matthew yesterday... so it kinda surprised us that he crawled up there and took a perch to "shoot" his deerhe was watching on t.v.

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
 

What a doll!!

RE: Following in brother's footsteps...
